Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a
programmable Finite Impulse Response (FIR) Filter using ALTERA Field
Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device. The filter performance is first
tested using Filter Design and Analysis (FDA) tool from Mathworks to
verify magnitude response and obtain coefficient tables. The test operation
includes LPF and BPF filter types with coefficient lengths of 7 and 31
respectively. The FPGA design is carried out by writing VHDL modules for
different filter components. The simulation waveforms, synthesis reports
and board programming files have obtained using the package QUARTUSII.
ALTERA-FLEX10K10 FPGA Family with EPF10K10LC84-3 board is
used as a target device for implementation purpose.
